    Boomer powder

    During my travels today I came up with:

    2 500 gram cans of Norma MRP

    2 lb cans of Hodgdon US869

    1 lb can of Accurate Magnum Rifle Powder

    I feel like the dog that caught the car. Now that I have it, what do I do with it?

    Don't load boomers anymore.

    Got enough 4831 to last me a couple of lifetimes in the 300 H&H if I every feel the need to kill that woodchuck on the other side of that big oak in the backyard.

    What do I do with this stuff?

    Learn to make duplex loads and use it in everything. I have a large amount of WC860 and it can be used in pretty much any rifle round if booted hard enough to get it lit.

    Yep. I have a bunch of H5010 that I use in several large cases and cast boolits boosted with a fast powder.

    Ya better let one of us older guys properly dispose of it to keep you safe.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
    This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
    EVERYONE!
